if a new file appeared on your desktop ("rtemp", right?) then you did not create the batch file properly. it's most likely because you put the file on your desktop and didn't include the paths in the batch file. just copy and paste mkdir %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\rtemp "C:\program files\java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1G -jar %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\technic-launcher.jar into notepad and save it as "instructions are hard.bat" then run it. you don't actually have to save it with that name, but make sure it ends in ".bat" and that you are not saving it as a .txt file. to be 100% sure, you can put the batch file in your .techniclauncher folder and run it from there if you want.

sounds like you're trying to add tekkit to an existing server. that is probably not going to work. grab the tekkit server from the home page and start with a fresh tekkit server. once you are able to log in to that (should not be hard) you can try to start adding in whatever plugins you had on your old server.

this would be the fix if he didn't have a model with an ATI card in it. unfortunately, he does according to HP's support website.

just a thought, but does it work when you're not running playclaw? also, just noticed this but are you running the launcher? the log says you're running "minecraft.exe", did you rename the launcher to that? in fact, you're most certainly not using the launcher. it's loading libraries from the .minecraft folder, which the launcher doesn't actually use at all.

well, it's clearly downloading something, but it isn't what it expects. there's only a few options here really 1) somehow you're still not using the most recent version of the launcher. this seems unlikely unless they don't update version numbers when they do stuff like update the MD5 sigs of minecraft versions, since my logs have the same version number and it works great 2) your connection is being hijacked somehow. not sure why this would happen, but who knows? 3) the download is consistently corrupted. extremely unlikely, but maybe your ISP hates you? who knows. the root cause is that certainly that whatever it's getting, it has an MD5 hash that it doesn't know. as to why that's happening, I can only guess unfortunately. I can tell you that your firewall is not getting in the way at least, if that does anything for you.

unfortunately I'm not intimately familiar with macs. it sounds like a firewall problem, but since you're on a mac I have no idea what to tell you.

could you post a pastebin of your actual log file? it would help me a lot in figuring out what's really going on.

yes, you can.

delete your .techniclauncher folder and redownload the launcher from the front page. after doing that, do you still have this issue?

I usually shy away from technic threads, both bug and general because I play tekkit. basically I check the general sections, the tekkit sections, and this section. I avoid the others mostly due to lack of interest.

that's because jar files are actually rar files. they are java rar files, or "jar" files. get it?

glad you got it sorted out.

Re: Only Tekkit servers are refusing to connect. hold up, I'm getting a vision.... the voices are telling me that you... you... use AVG! is that right? do you use AVG for your antivirus? I'd even take norton as an answer.

based on this thread, I'd speculate that you'll be enjoying that pink name for a long time to come.

this thread title is amazing. I think if there was a game called "items;;; the crash fortune" I'd probably buy it just for the excessive semicolons. to answer your question: yes.

I never find any wisps on my tekkit server because thaumcraft is not a part of tekkit. it's part of technic.

I like how multiple people are making guesses at this guy's problem without seeing the error since he didn't post it. that said, given the very, VERY small amount of info to go on I'm going to assume it's the IC2 advanced machines mod major/minor version error. as such, the answer is has already been provided. next time though OP, just post a pastebin of the errors. no one will complain that they are too long, trust me. also, errors that you already fixed don't help us solve the errors you haven't. I almost leaped to the conclusion that you were trying to allocate too much RAM because the screenshot was of a problem that doesn't have any bearing on anything.

this is 100% correct. had this problem myself a while ago and this is what I did to fix it. accessing my flying castle has never been easier!

can you log into vanilla MC using the normal launcher?

I think I can make out what it's trying to say, let me try and translate for everyone

that log isn't even complete. what do you expect any of us to do with it? I can tell you that you most certainly have errors, if that was what you're looking for.

at one point long ago I tried to start a LP series, but gave up because it was too much work. however, I did a bunch of research and testing of various capture software and came upon a gem called dxtory. the reasons this program was the one I went with are multiple. -doesn't cap FPS at recording FPS -doesn't bog down the game while recording like fraps -can record 64-bit programs unlike gameclaw -can save game audio and mic audio as seperate tracks in the video, allowing easier volume adjusting/editing -can use all kinds of codecs -can actually double as a webcam that broadcasts your screen/game. useful for livestreaming -highly configurable, all kinds of options -doesn't fail randomly for no reason like fraps enjoys doing it's a but more expensive than fraps at 3600 yen or about $44 according to google. however it's worth every penny and is so much better than fraps.

Re: Re: Update Failed! just to clarify, the mkdir line is only needed for the technic launcher. if you're running vanilla minecraft (not through the launcher) then you can get rid of that entirely. also, you'd want to point it at the minecraft.exe file instead of technic-lancher.jar. that would allow you to run regular minecraft in the regular way. I know you already figured it out, but maybe there are other people with similar issues that aren't as swift so I thought I'd be as clear as possible.

if the server doesn't work when you put in your external IP for it, then you have an issue on your end. possible problems: 1) port forwarding is not setup properly/not working 2) your ISP is draconian and blocks uncommon ports like the ones minecraft servers use 3) your server is misconfigured ways to narrow down your issue: step 1: try connecting your PC directly to your modem, instead of going through your router. once you do this, check your IP again because it may have changed and try connecting to your server using your current IP. if this works, it's a port forwarding issue with the router. if this fails, you're either using the wrong IP (unlikely since you seem to know how to find it), your ISP is draconian and you're fucked, or your server is misconfigured. step 2: if step 1 failed, completely delete your minecraft server files (backup your world file if you want to keep it) and reinstall the server. don't modify the config at all. get the server up and running, then try to connect like you did in step 1. if this works now, your config was bad and you can restore your backed up world file (if you did this) and play happily with your buddy after putting your network back together. if this does not work, you're down to your ISP being draconian and you are fucked.

head over to http://www.whatismyip.com and look at your IP displayed there. this is your external IP. if that's not what you gave your friend, and not what is in your server address box (plus port number of course) then make it so. once you've done this, see if you can still connect. if you truly are using your external IP, and you connect fine while your friend doesn't, then it's probably something on your friend's PC blocking it. maybe a firewall program (like the ever popular AVG) or similar.
